| Description |
English: Incomplete left maxilla (‘upper jaw bone’) and incomplete right dentary (‘tooth-bearing lower jaw bone’) of the large theropod dinosaur Megalosaurus bucklandii from the Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) of southern England. Note that the dentary is shown form the ‘inner’ (medial) side whereas the maxilla (with some matrix rock left in the tooth area and in the area of the maxillary ‘fenestra’) is shown from the outer (lateral) side, because the two bones are from opposite sides of the skull. Nevertheless they give a good impression of the total size of the skull. Furthermore, the dentary (catalogue no. OUMNH J.13505) is the lectotype of M. bucklandii, while the maxilla (OUMNH J.13506) is a referred specimen. Both specimens are from the Taynton Limestone Formation of Stonesfield, Oxfordshire.[1][2] Deutsch: Unvollständiges linkes Maxillare („Oberkieferknochen“) und unvollständiges rechtes Dentale („zahntragender Unterkieferknochen“) des großen Theropoden Megalosaurus bucklandii aus dem Mitteljura (Bathon) des südlichen Englands. Man beachte, dass das Dentale von der Innenseite (medial) zu sehen ist, während das Maxillare (mit einigem verbliebenen Matrixgestein im Bereich der Zähne und des Maxillar„fensters“) von der Außenseite (lateral) zu sehen ist, weil die beiden Knochen von gegenüberliegenden Seiten des Schädels stammen. Nichtsdestoweniger vermitteln sie einen guten Eindruck von der Größe des Schädels. Außerdem handelt es sich bei dem Dentale (Sammlungs-Nr. OUMNH J.13505) um den Lectotyp von M. bucklandii, wohingegen das Maxillare (OUMNH J.13506) ein zugeordnetes Exemplar ist. Beide Exemplare stammen aus der Taynton Limestone Formation von Stonesfield, Oxfordshire.[1][2]
